I hope that the weekend has started out to be a good one for you? I started today off at 5:30am looking in on Chris. The coffee pot is on and I am thinking toast this morning. Elise is caring for Chris this morning after she returns from swimming.

No real plans for today except that we are anticipating a good game this evening between our Wildcats and the ASU Sundevils. It is the annual rivalry game between the two teams. I am sure that my son JT will be cheering on the Sun Devils because he attends ASU. It should be a very good game. I have a errand to run for Elise this morning but other than that who knows.

We had a very nice evening last night. We had a very good dinner at Pastiche. We both had the Blackened Red Snapper with veggies and rice pilaf. We also had a bottle of red a Beaujolais that was good. For dessert we shared a drink called a K-reamsicle that was good too. Afterward we left for the Invisible Theatre to see Gun Metal Blues a musical. It was very good and the acting and singing was outstanding. The theatre was packed except for two seats. We enjoy going to the see live shows a lot.

Well, I had better get this day rolling. Have a good one.

Cheers........................... GO CATS!!!

Good Morning JT.

Afternoon

Good Afternoon,

How is everyone? We are good here. Well,it has been a good day so far, except that the wheelchair guy was supposed to be here at 1:00pm and he is late again. Elise just left to play bridge in the foothills. We got the call from the doctor and Elise does not have pneumonia, thank goodness.

Well I just finished putting stamps on my outgoing Christmas cards and I will get them in the mail shortly. We hope that your day is going well too?

We hope that your evening went well? I started the day at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise is up and about in the main house. It is a cool 45 degrees this morning with a very slight breeze. I have my coffee right next to me and it is just right, hmmm, hmmm, good.

I have a few errands to run this morning and I am tossing around in my head TGIF. How is your Christmas shopping coming along? This evening after Marv comes to care for Chris we are going to have dinner at Pastiche before we head for Invisible Theatre. We are going to see a musical called "Gun Metal Blues, it has gotten good reviews in the newspaper.

Well Chris is being very vocal right now so I had better go to see what is going on. Have a good day and a wonderful weekend.

Night

Good Night,

Well Elise and I ran some errands this afternoon and then we went to thew movies to see Four Christmases. It was good but it did not live up to the hype it was given by the media. We enjoyed it though.

Afterwards we had some photos ordered from Walgreen's, and then we went to Oregano's for dinner. We had a bottle of red and a 18" thin crust pizza with pepperoni, black olives, mushrooms, and jalapenos. It was great. For dessert we shared a Bellini and it was outstanding.

We returned home and we watch a DVD about Black American Culture. Then Elise called it a night. I will call it a night myself after I check on Chris after Brent leaves for the night. It has been a pretty good day. Have a good evening.

Night..................

Good Night JT. We will be in Tempe on the 10th thru 12 December. We are going to Sara's firefighter graduation. Let us know if we can meet?

Rosemary and Sharon, yes I do love my coffee, thank you guys.

How are things going? We are doing fairly well here in Tucson. I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris and he is very vocal this morning. The coffee is brewing and as usual I am in need of a cup. Elise is counting those sheep this morning.

I have a few errands to run this morning so I believe that it is going to be a busy day today. I have to go to the dry cleaners, post office, Borders bookstore, credit union, and to top it off I am going to put on a standing rib roast this morning in our rotisserie cooker. Busy day, huh?

We may go to the movies this afternoon when Brent arrives to care for Chris. We are also going out for pizza at Oregano's for dinner and a bottle of red. Looking forward to that and so is Elise. Well I had better get cracking!! Have a good day all.

Later............................

Elise and just finished off the leftover turkey and let me tell you it was good. Funny how good things are when you get down to the last of it, eh?

I just got a few Christmas cards signed and the envelopes ready to mail out in tomorrows post. Elise is getting a batch ready as I post this blog entry. We will find out if Elise has a touch of pneumonia tomorrow, she is feeling better today. Well I had better get back to Chris.

Night

Good Night,

Well the day is winding down and so is Chris. We are watching the Wildcats basketball game. Elise is out playing bridge at her Mom's. Elise is not feeling her best but their is no stopping her at times. She has a bad cough so she went to have an x-ray done due she may have a bout of pneumonia. I hope not.

We ran some errands this afternoon after Brent the caregiver arrived. We returned and we took Chris to his chiro appt and he and Elise got the treatment. Elise fixed breakfast for dinner, something that we do once a week. We had homemade waffles from scratch, and sausages, and coffee. It was delicious let me tell you and very filling.

Well, I had better get back to the game and Chris. Have a good night all.

Ciao....................................

Sis, I am glad that things have settled a bit. Keep your guard up though. Give a shout out to Shaina for me.

Jeanne, how are you doing?

Good Night JT

How is everyone doing today? We are good here in the cool desert of Tucson. I started the day of a 5:35am caring for Chris. Elise is up and out swimming this morning. How did the weekend go for you?

No special plans for today as of yet. Hey have you started your Christmas shopping yet? We have and I believe that we are just about finished. We will begin to put up decorations inside and outside of the house this weekend.

We will be taking Chris to his chiro appointment this afternoon along with Brent the caregiver. Elise will receive a treatment as well at that time. Well, that is about it for today a slow day but that is a good thing. Have a wonderful day.

Cheers.................................

Sharon (UK) I hope that I was close with my answers?

How are things going? Well let me apologise for not making a blog entry yesterday. I was really under the weather and I didn't feel well at all. I am feeling much better today.

I started today at 4:30am, I looked in on Chris and then I began to pay bills that were due. It is a cool 40 degrees this morning. The coffee is brewing and I believe that the smell woke Chris up because he is chatting away right now. Elise is up and reading the newspaper and having a light breakfast.

Chris's regular caregiver showed up last night to care for Chris. One of Elise's oldest friends is in Tucson for a short visit and she came by to go out to dinner. Susie is a very bright lady with a lot of energy and she has a zest for life that is infectious. We went to Pinnacle Peak for their signature steaks, cowboy beans, and of course Susie is a red wine drinker like we are. We all had the Cowboy steak and it was as good as ever, and the beans are the best.

We returned home after dinner and we said our good byes for the evening to Susie. Elise and I watched TV for a short while before she hit the sheets. Elise is not feeling well either. I stayed up until Mike left for the evening. I checked on Chris and then I called it a night as well. Again gang I am sorry for not posting to our blog yesterday, I am sure that many of it's followers missed it.

Later.......................................

Good Morning JT.
