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

Mia Fidanzata is still in hospital, hopefully she will be coming home today. Please keep those prayers coming for her. Thank you!

We spent a couple of hours at the "Verizon Store" yesterday after breakfast. We got new "Samsung 26" phones. We decided to get new ones because my shorty's phone was having an issue.

Our breakfast at the "Egg Connection" was as good as ever.

We stopped at "Whole Foods", to pick up a couple of pizzas for dinner.

After dinner we made our way to the "Roadhouse Cinema", to see the movie "You, Me, and Tuscany". It was very good feel-good movie filmed in Italia. It brought back a lot of memories for us.

Today we are going 520 Tactical Shooting Range to register with them so we can use the indoor shooting range. Thank you Fidanzata and Capo Jim.

Our Estef's baseball team tied in yesterday game. Way to go, Estef!

Well, I had better get busy and get this day rolling. Have a good Lunedi.

LET'S GET IT DONE "MICHIGAN WOLVERINES"

How are you doing on this cloudy Lunedi?

There is a lot of noise and commotion going on here on Justin Ln. The street is being scored and torn up to make way for new paving work. Yes, no more (potholes).

Mia Moglie is reading the newspaper and enjoying coffee. I am reading the memorial book that was penned by Mia Moglie and me. It is titled "53 Years In 53 Days". It is a memorial for Chris. If you haven't read it, I am sure that you would enjoy it if you knew Chris. I had tears in my eyes as I have read it many, many times. The anniversary of his death is approaching.

We are going to go to San Diego for a few days near the end of this month. It will be bittersweet because we were there when we were informed of Chris's hospitalization. 

We hope that your Lunedi is going well for you. Enjoy the day.

The coffee is a good robust "French Roast", 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 "Boney" for me today.

How was your Easter Sunday?  For me it was the worst ever, due to issues that should not have been. I didn't attend the annual Easter Brunch this year. Mia Moglie attended and when she returned it was the same old family drama.

When I hear the phrase "family first" I disagree to a point. I love my family, but for me it is "respect first", but that is just me.

Mia Moglie, played video games for about 6 hours last night and it was a lot of fun.

Well, I had better get this day started. Have a good Lunedi!  Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Well, our "Wildcats" got beat by my homies Michigan. They tried but they seemed a bit lackluster. They had a very good run.

Today is the meeting of the family for "Easter Brunch' up in the foothills hosted by Susan and Cathy. It's supposed to start at noon.

Mia Moglie is out grocery shopping, and I am sure that she got her froyo fix.

I am resting up for the basketball games that start at 3:00pm. For some reason our "Wildcats" were favored to win, but now that has changed in favor of my homies Michigan. Hmmm!

I just got back from picking up our Easter Feast from "Honey baked Ham", and it looks delicious. It is looking so good that now I am starting to get hungry, smile.

Enjoy your Sabato and I will have a chat at you later.

How is your day going so far?

I got all of my errands done today. Mia Moglie is getting her froyo fix and after that she will hit the (bridge) table.

I stopped at the pistol range to see what we need to start shooting there. We were gifted a card to go there by Mia fidanzata and Capo Jim. My playmate and I will register with them before we make an appointment to shoot.

I gassed up the "Bellezza Nera" on the airbase, and it was painful to fill her up. While I stopped there, I went into the commissary to pick up some items for my next BBQ.

I gave Azalya a bath and she did not want that at all.

I dropped by my fidanzata's home and I missed her again. It has been longtime since I have seen her.

Now I am going to see if there is a horror movie on TV. Enjoy your day. I also made a reservation for a hotel in Yuma for this month.

MY KIND OF (DONNA), HOT!

How are you doing so far on this sunny Lunedi?

I just got back from running an errand on the east side of town. I also stop in at the cemetery to visit with (Wes), Chris, and my parents.

I asked Wes how I am doing with caring for Mia Moglie. I asked my parents for some much-needed advice, because I am not feeling my best. I have veered away from my upbringing, and I need to return to it (subito). 

I am sure that the advice will be take care of me first, as I am always being told that by Jeanne, a long, long-time friend who lives here in Tucson. 

Mia Moglie has left to go swimming.  I will start a search for hotels in Yuma, AZ for next month. We will be taking our annual trip to San Diego. The trip is bittersweet and it bring back many memories for us, especially me. My sister Tiger loves it there. 

Enjoy your day.

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

The coffee is a good Paradise 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 day for me. I asked her to play some "Down Home Blues" for me today.

I started my day off at 5:00am. I woke up from a startling dream, that I am sure that it was a wakeup call for me. I was in the fetal position when I woke up and I was very, very angry, something told me it is time for payback.

I have always said that if you caused me any harm, pain, grief, that I would get even with you, not right then but I did let you know that your day is coming verbally or in my mind. The time has come! I got up and I looked at Mia Moglie, and I said "Thank you and that I love you".

I am going to visit the cemetery this morning to have a talk with (Wes), Chris, and my parents. Weird you might think but it is something that I do.

Our "Tuna Jalapeno Dip", was delicious. We played video games from noon yesterday until 9:00pm. We also kept track of the basketball games as well.
