Buon Lunedi!  How are you doing? It is a nice, mostly cloudy morning here in the "Old Pueblo".  Any plans for today?

The coffee is a good 230 West Breakfast Blend, and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that today is going to be a busy one. I asked her to play some (Smooth Jazz) for me today.

We attended the Memorial Service for our friend Edi Moore. The service was very well done, and it talked about her and her life. It did not dwell on the religious aspect but her life and her all that she loved. Excellent. There was a nice crowd in attendance. Rest in Peace Edi.

Later in the evening we watched the "Wildcats) football game on DVR. The Cats won. After that we watched our "Chiefs" play. They won as well. Go Chiefs.

Mia Moglie and I will be working on the set-up for Chris's Memorial Celebration today.

Here is the latest rock in the hood. I am working on a new rock and my shorty has completed her commissioned rock. I will post her rock after it has been sealed.

Well, I had better get to it. Have a good Lunedi. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge word is (lampada). I need to change the light bulb in the computer rooms (lampada) because it is flickering. Can't have that right fidanzata?

Ciao...Jessie and Elise 

Buon Pomeriggio!

How are you doing on this hot Domenica? We are good and busy.

We enjoyed a very good breakfast at the "Egg Connection" as always.

Alexa was correct this morning to say we have a very busy day ahead.

We just got back from my girlfriends Shoo Shoo's home. We picked up some tables and chairs to be used at Chris's Memorial Celebration. Thank you so much girlfriend.

Mia Moglie is now on her Mac in her office. We will be leaving soon to attend a Memorial Service for our dear friend Edi Moore.

We enjoyed a very nice dinner at the "Red Lobster" last night with my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. The food was plentiful and delicious. Can't take my girls anywhere, smile!

EDWINA AND SHOO SHOO

CHIN, CHIN!

BOTTOMS UP EDWINA

After dinner we strolled over to the "Arts Express Theatre" in Park Place. We saw the live musical "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". This presentation was excellent, and the venue was packed. Fantastic live music and the acting was superb. So good that we are thinking about getting seasons tickets for the venue. Yes, it was that good.

Later today we will watch the "Wildcats" football game that we (DVR'd). Later this evening we are going to watch the "Chiefs" play football. Go Chiefs!

We enjoyed Happy Hour last night "La Parrilla Suiza", the food and the margaritas were spot on. After that we made our way over to the "Live Theater Workshop" to see the live play "The Miss Firecracker Contest". This play is one of the best of the season. It took us thorough the trials and tribulations of competing in a pageant. It was serious but yet hilarious. We recommend this one for sure. Mia Moglie and I are season ticket holders, and we received a nice card and treat from Michael Martinez the Artistic Director of the Live Theater Workshop for our support. And guess who we sat next to at the theater? Papa John and company. He is looking very well, and it was good to see him.

I will be working on the back patio today checking and cleaning chairs and tables for Chris's Memorial Celebration.

This evening, we will be dining at "Red Lobster". We will be joined by my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. After dinner we will make our way over to the "Arts Express Theatre" to see the live musical play " Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat". It should be a fun evening.

While we were enjoying our breakfast a couple asked to commission a Halloween Rock to be painted and Mia Moglie took on the task.. Too cool, eh?

Mia Moglie just left for her doctor's appointment. I am checking and putting away items back into the shed.

I need to make sure that our fur baby (Azalya) has enough water and food. For some reason we are going to be back in the triple digits for the next few days. WTF?

We are looking forward to a restful night at Wildhorse Pass Gila Casino and Resort. Hopefully we can make the Keno Slots sing out "Cha Ching".

FEEL BETTER SOON TO ALL THAT ARE NOT AT 100%

How is your Taco Tuesday going so far? So far so good here in the Garden District.

I am relaxing for a bit before I tackle the backyard area. I am listening to some Albert King Blues and some Lee Ritenour (Jazz). Come to find out that Larry our handyman loves the (blues). He is getting his groove on while he is working. 

My mom told me many years ago that one day I would like the (blues). I told her many years ago that I would never care for the (blues). Well, she was correct now that I am mid-aged I love it. Blues is music that you have to listen to the words because it is all about life the ups and downs. The Blues is second to Jazz for me.

I had to put Azalya in her kennel because she decided that she wanted to walk through a painted area that Larry was working on , so he had to retouch it.

Well, I think it is about time for that second cup of coffee. I put in a bottle of Rose’ in the fridge to chill. I decided to return to my old habit of having a glass of vino on a daily basis. I have to admit I felt better with that glass per day. It is something I learned in Italia.  “Chin, chin”.

We hope that your “Taco Tuesday” is a good one. I will have a chinwag at you later.

Ciao…Jessie

Buongiorno!
