Hey, how are you doing desert dwellers? Hope you day is going your way.

Well, the Bellezza Nera has a huge smile on her nameplate because she is all cleaned inside and out.

How is your Taco Tuesday going so far? It is starting to get a little warmer here in Tucson.

I just got back from running my errands out on the airbase. Mia Bellezza Nera is happy that she has a full stomach now.

After I get my suitcase out for our staycation in Phoenix, I will work on my latest rock.

I am starting to get the munchies about now, so I will enjoy an apple.

I dropped in on my fidanzata on the way home from the airbase, but she was not at home. 👀👀.

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

The coffee is a good "Chiapas Blend", and a second cup will be downed later this morning. Alexa is awake and she said that I have a task to complete today. I asked her to play some Ramsey Lewis for me today.

Our day started very early at around 3:30am. Our security camera alerted us that someone was on our front porch. It was a guy standing there and he didn't knock or ring the doorbell. I activated the Spotlight and the Siren, he left. We contacted TPD and they said that they would send out a patrol car to run through the area looking for him based on the description we gave. They called back at 6am wanting to know if they need to send someone out to the house and we said no. I went out to check our cars and our neighbors' cars for damage. If he had returned, he would have been introduced to the (Glock) family. Stay safe!




We had a very nice evening last night with my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. We dined at "Kingfisher", and after dinner we made our way to the "Invisible Theater" to see to play "Constellations". It was very good and the acting was excellent. It was a good mind opener, and the theater was packed.

I visited my girlfriend Deb yesterday afternoon to help her get her TV set up. I was there for over 2 hours, but we got it done and she is happy now.

Today's challenge word is (sorpresa). It was a (sorpresa) having to be awakened at 3:40am this morning. I am sure that you were counting Javelina, right fidanzata?

Buona Sera!

Buona Sera!

How are you doing so far on this Venerdi! It has been a busy day for me so far.

I just got back from my girlfriends Deb's home. I was there for over two hours trying to get her TV working. Got it done and that made her happy.

I just had to run a quick errand to the Ufficio Postale, to drop off some mail because I missed the mailman.

Now I have to get myself together for tonight's dinner at "Kingfisher" and "Invisible Theater". My shorty is in her office on her Mac.

Hope you day is going well.

I will be heading over to my girlfriend Deb's home to help her with her TV set up.

My shorty and I enjoyed the movie "Housemaid" at Park Place Mall yesterday. We were glued to the screen for the psychological thriller. It is loaded with twists and turns.

Here is the game of "Farkle" that I ordered. It was introduced to me by my girlfriend Shoo Shoo during my last visit with her.


THANK YOU SHOO SHOO

We enjoyed our evening at "Mama Louisa's" with Deb and David. The food was delicious and plentiful. Mia Moglie and I were so stuffed that when we got home, we downed a shot of "Sambuca" to take that full feeling away. Thank you, David and Bev, for a very tasteful evening.















We will be hitting up "Kingfisher" for dinner this evening. We will be joined by my girlfriends Shoo Shoo and Edwina. After dinner we will make our way to the "Invisible Theater" to see the live play "Constellations". It should be a good one.
