How are you doing? It is a nice, sunny day here in Tucson.

We enjoyed a good breakfast this morning at the Egg Connection.

We enjoyed the visit from our nephew Zack for the past few days. He is making his way back home right now. He is looking good. He left us a couple of gifts this morning. He stayed in the "Dew Drop Inn" #2.

My playmate and I have been out in the front yard doing some work and installing fencing around the Mesquite Trees. Man, it is hot out.

I have been down and out for the last few days. I am starting to feel better thanks to Bucky and Dena. They brought over some meds for me to take yesterday and it is working already. I am starting to feel better. Thank you, Bucky, and Dena.

I want to thank my girlfriend Shoo Shoo  for checking up on me daily. What a girlfriend she is, eh?

Thank you, Matt, for checking up on me mate!

I have to say that I am sorry for not posting to the blog for a couple of days. I was really out of it.

My shorty is in her office on her Mac now. We will be dining on pizza for dinner.

We will be making our way to the "Roadhouse Cinema" to see the movie "By Any Means". The previews were great. I am taking things slow, so I am sitting down and staying down as much as I can.

Here is my lates rock creation. Enjoy! I will prep a new rock for painting today. My playmate has one prepped and ready to go for her next rock project.


IL GATO

Well, I had better check on Azalya to see what she needs. Have a good Domenica. Stay safe and I will chat at you later.

Today's challenge word is (Sono molto grato). Sono molto grata) for my family and friends who think about me often. I am blessed indeed. (Sono fortunato), right fidanzata?

My girlfriend Shoo Shoo texted me yesterday about her meeting a lady at "Trader Joes" who knew me very well. As a matter of fact, this lady came up to Shoo Shoo and asked are you Shoo Shoo?

I shared the text with Mia Moglie and we both racked our brains about who this lady could be, and she is a blog follower. Later in the evening I got a text from Jeanne saying that she met Shoo Shoo. Our mystery was solved. I am glad that they met.

I completed my (Core) session early this morning. I barely completed it because I am very sore.  Sore you ask?

I got hit, kicked to the curb, slapped, pushed down to the ground, pinched and spanked.

Yes, I was defeated badly by my girlfriend Shoo Shoo and Mia Moglie during last night's Rumi Kube Fest that was hosted by my girlfriend Shoo Shoo. I played very well, with only one tile left for victory, but no I got spanked hard.


SHOO SHOO

IO CON SHOO SHOO

SHOO SHOO CON MIA MOGLIE PLOTTING AGAINST ME

Our host prepared a great spread, and she presented a wonderful dessert. I deployed the secret weapon, and it started to work its magic on Shoo Shoo quickly. I had her where I wanted her, but with all of my strategy I still got spanked. I vowed to get revenge in the next meeting. It was an evening filled with fun, love and a bit of stinging pain from Mia Moglie and Shoo Shoo. My fidanzata would not have done that to me, at least I hope not. Thank you Shoo.

I will be starting a new rock today. I will drop a couple of rocks in the hood later today. My playmates latest rock creation was purchased by Bev. Nice!
