Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How is your New Years Eve going? We are hanging in there and the Black-eyed Peas are smelling up the main house. Champagne is in the fridge, and the cornbread will be in the oven soon.

I made a quick stop and the (Ufficio postale) to drop of some mail. After that I dropped in on my girlfriend Shoo Shoo to see how she is doing. We had a very nice talk, and we were so glad to see each other. What a model (girlfriend) she is. 

We will see her tomorrow for Rumi Kube that she is hosting at her home. I am sure that she is ready for a good spanking. A good way to start the New Year off. Pow, pow!

Mia Moglie is in her office on her Mac. We are both listening college football. ASU vs Duke a very close game indeed.

We enjoyed a very nice visit to the Miniature Museum with Nancy and Jeff. What a fantastic place.

After the museum we had lunch at the Trident. The food was very good, and it didn't take long for it to be packed. We got all caught up on the latest goings on. Thank you, Nancy and Jeff.

I will post pictures from the museum as soon as I review them all.

Here are a few more pictures from the 26th of December in Bisbee. It was delicious.

I am going to make some serious changes for 2026 that I feel are needed. It may offend some, but this is what I have to do.

I will be doing my yearly ritual of starting the New Year. On New Years Day I will exit out of the back door and enter in the house from the front. This signifies that I am getting rid of all the past of last year and by coming in the front I am bring in the new luck and happiness. It may sound silly, but I have done this for many, many years.

Well, I had better get Azalya fed. Man, that pot is smelling good all the way over here in my (Man Cave). 

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Yes, the wind was blowing overtime. It started last night and is still blowing away. I went out to check on our neighbor's house this morning, and I picked up the (luminary lamp bags) that were out in the street and over the yard. I picked them up and placed them on a chair on the porch. Ours got blown over as well.

I was trying to catch up with Mia Moglie during the night. She was running a race or something in her sleep last night. I had a hard time because she is fast, smile! I also had a visit from my parents in a dream after I caught up with Mia Moglie. They didn't say anything, they just smiled and went on. A very good feeling for me to start the day with.

I will be starting a New Years rock today. My playmate may start one too.

Here are a few pictures from having breakfast the 26th of December with the Bisbee family.
