Good Night

Good Night,

How did your day go? Things went well here in the Old Pueblo. The temperature was not bad today at all. We were supposed to have a 10% chance of rain but no rain in sight,oh well! Elise and I played video game on the Wii after Chris's newly assigned case manager left. We played horseshoes, miniature golf, basketball, and a few others it is a lot of fun.

Elise fixed a very nice dinner this evening, nothing but veggies. Yep, you heard me right nothing but veggies. We had corn on the cob, boiled potatoes, carrots, and tomatoes and we washed it all down with a couple of glassed of red. No bad at all. For dessert we shared Snicker's Bar.

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is checking her email and playing video games on her puter. Well, I had better get back to work and grind some more coffee beans for tomorrow morning. Have a good evening all.

Chin,chin................

Good Night Jeanne.

Well, it is Hump Day so what's up? I started the day off at 5:40am caring for Chris. Elise is back to counting those Geckos this morning but she will be up and getting to it shortly. It is a very nice 69 degrees this morning and the birds are chirping away. The coffee is good and I will have to grind some more beans today.

I am going to tackle the hedges this morning as soon as I get Chris settled and relaxed. We have no plans for today as of yet. We may play a few games on the Wii or we will watch a DVD. How about you? Any plans? Well, I had better get busy. Have a Hump Day and enjoy.

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

Good Morning Jeanne

Ross, you are on a roll with the emails, thanks.

Tiger and Marcie, how are things?

Rosie, keep those emails coming.

Carol, very nice photo of you and the dog, thanks.

Good Night

Good Night,

How was your day? It has been a peaceful day here in the valley. Elise and I went to the movies this afternoon to see Funny People and it was OK. After the movies we stopped at Best Buy to get a CD for Elise but we got a new game for Wii.

We returned home and Elise fixed breakfast for dinner. We had french toast, sausages, and hot coffee. We watched a couple of episodes of the Golden Girls on DVD. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise just left to play bridge at her Mum's.

Tomorrow is Hump Day and we will visited by a case manager of one of the agencies that provides caregivers for Chris. The case manager is new so this is a initial visit. I still have a feeling that something is changing within his agency and it is not for the good. There are a lo pf politics within these organizations and it is not always geared to the best interest of the client or patient. First and foremost they are a business.

Well, I had better get back to work with Chris. Have a good night and a good Hump Day tomorrow.

Nos da.....................

Good Night Jeanne

Hello

Hello,

How is your Tuesday going so far? Things are going OK here in Tucson. I am watering the plants and hedges at the present time. Chris is resting listening to his stereo. I will be getting him up shortly.

I have this funny feeling that we are about to run into some caregiver problems soon, and when I get that feeling we usually do run into a problem or two. I hope not because we have made plans for the remainder of the year and a few plans for the spring of 2010.

Well, I had better get back to my watering. Have a good afternoon all.

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

Anne, always a pleasure to hear from you.

Shirlene, thank you for the phone update and the photo.

Janet, how are things in Iowa?

How are things going? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is up and out swimming this morning. It is a nice 72 degrees right now and it is going to heat up as the day rolls along.

We have no plans for today as of yet but we may go to the movies this afternoon when Brent arrives to care for Chris. The coffee is good and hot this morning. I need to trim the hedges in the driveway and I am waiting on the temperature to get even lower. I will do it tomorrow morning early if all goes well.

Well, I had better get to work with Chris. Have a good day all.

Good Night,

Well, the day is winding down and it has been a good one. Chris and I enjoyed the visit by his case manager this morning. Chris enjoyed holding her hands and arm wrestling with her. Chris and I took a walk in the afternoon and then we watched some TV.

Elise prepared a good dinner that consisted of butter beans and corn bread, carrots, black olives and a pickle. We downed it all with iced tea. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise just left to play bridge at her Mum's house.

I had better get back to work with Chris and get him settled for the night. We hope that your day was a good one?

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

How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:50am caring for Chris. Elise is up and about already this morning, I guess she ran out of things to count, eh? Do you have any plans for today? I have to run a few errands on the airbase is all and I need to get some things out in the mail. The coffee is good this morning and it is always a good way to start the day off.

Chris will be visited by his case manager today. He enjoys her visit and he is looking forward to arm wrestling with her. It is about 75 degrees right now and it is supposed to get into the upper 90's today with no rain in sight.

Well, Elise and I had a very nice stay-cation at the Courtyard Marriott at the Williams Centre on Saturday and Sunday, thanks to my brother Herman. We checked in at around 2:30pm and we didn't leave the room until Sunday morning. We played video games on our laptop from 3:00pm until around 10:00pm and we only stopped then to watch our Wildcats play football on TV. While we were playing the game we munched on my killer tuna salad with Frito Scoops. The salad consists of tuna, chopped eggs, chopped onions, mustard, miracle whip, and chopped jalapenos. I must tell you it is very good and very heated from the jalapenos, we love it. We also had our staple of Jack and Coke as well, smile. A very good evening.

We woke up late for us after 8:00am. We got ready to pick up Elise's Mum and we went to breakfast at a place called the Good Egg and the food was really good. It was so much that we had to get a to-go box. And we had a senior moment and we left my to-go box there. Elise's Mums to-go box had very large cinnamon roll in it and we didn't forget that one. Mine had potatoes, toast, chorizo, and eggs in it. We took Elise's Mum home and we stopped off at our home to see how things were going with Chris. We returned to the Marriott and got ready to checkout. We returned home and we unpacked and then we left for the movies. We went to see District 9 and it was pretty good. After the movies we went for a early dinner at Elle's and the food was great. We shared a bottle of Chianti that was really good at was featured at half price, a good deal. Elise had the Risotto and I had the Tagliatelle pasta with Italian sausage, very good. The wine was so good that we bought a bottle to take home with us.

After dinner we went to Reid park to listen to Music Under The Stars Pops Concert. It was a great evening out and a good breeze was blowing. A good crowd was there and we had mixed nuts, popcorn and a couple glassed of a Cab while we listened to the music. Excellent way to end the day and end our stay-cation. We returned home and I checked on Chris and we called it a weekend. Now it is back to reality,smile. Well, I had better get busy and get to work. Have a good day all.

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

Good Morning Jeanne, sorry about Ohio, but our Wildcats kicked butt, smile.

Herman, we cannot thank you enough for making our weekend a good one.

Tiger and Marcie, how was your weekend?

Ross, what did you and Denise do over the weekend?

Sis, how was the weekend? Did you BBQ something? Smile!

How are you this morning? I started the day off at 5:00am due to the dogs barking at something out in front of the house. Elise is still counting those toads this morning but she will hopping along soon. I forgot to mention that we had a visitor on the south side of the house early Friday morning. I didn't know it was there due to I was so exhausted and I was in a very deep sleep. We have a fountain right outside of our window and Elise said that it was being visited by a skunk that was very aromatic to say the least. I didn't even know it was there because I was knocked out. I wonder if the neighbors got a whiff or it as well? There have been sightings of bears, coyotes, bobcats seen in the city because the animals are looking for water.

Any plans for today? We are going to the Courtyard Marriott at the Williams Centre for a stay-cation overnight, thanks to my brother Herman. We will relax and take it easy. We had a very nice time last night at Sam Hughes Place for dinner. We shared a bottle of Aqua Pumpkin, it was a Pinot and it was very good. Elise had the tuna with rice and veggies and I had the Root Beer braised short ribs with white cheese mashed potatoes and veggies and crispy onion rings. We also shared a salad and jerk shrimp on skewers they were very spicy and very, very good.

Well, I had better get to work with Chris. Marva is going to care for Chris while we are on our stay-cation. I can smell the coffee and I am ready for a cup or two. Have a good day and enjoy the weekend.

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

Good Morning Jeanne, Go OHIO!! Tell Angelica thanks for the Albondigas,wow it is so good.

How are you? Hey, it is Friday and the weekend is here. What are your plans? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise, well she is still counting those horny toads this morning but she will be bouncing shortly. It is a nice 78 degrees with a slight breeze that feels pretty good this morning.

I forgot to mention that Angelica gave me some Albondigas the other night and it is so good and so all gone as well, I love it. We are going to go out to dinner this evening at Sam Hughes Place near the U of A. We are looking forward to it since we have never eaten there. Marv will be caring for Chris this evening.

I am going to prepare some of my killer tuna salad with jalapenos this morning. We are going to take it along with us on our stay-cation tomorrow. We will be at the Courtyard Marriott in the Williams Centre here in Tucson, thanks to the great rate that my brother Herman got for us. We will relax, play video games on our laptop, and watch the Wildcats play NAU, it should be a good game a nice get-away. While we are away Marva will be caring for Chris.

Well, I had better bet busy with Chris and decide what I am going to pack for our short stay-cation. Another cup of coffee is in order about right now. Have a good day and a great weekend.

How did your day go? It has been a good day here in Tucson. Hot and still no rain so far. I have had a headache ever since around noon and I still have it. I may need some extra sleep or something. Chris and Elise got their massage today and while Chris was getting his, he lost his catheter and and the therapist informed us when she finished his massage. I went over and I replaced it and we had to completely change all of his bed linen.

We didn't take Chris bowling because of my headache so we watched a DVD and ate some popcorn. After that Elise went to Yokohama and she got two bowls for dinner. They were very good with a couple of rum and cokes. While we were eating we watched The Golden Girls on DVD. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is checking her email.

I just made reservations for dinner at Sam Hughes Place for tomorrow night. It near the U of A Wildcat stadium. We have been there before for a cocktail but never for dinner. Well, I had better get back to Chris and get him settled for the night. Have a good evening.

Cheerio.....................

How are you? I started the day off at 5:30am caring for Chris. Elise, well she is cloud jumping this morning but she will come down to earth soon and begin her day. It is a nice 71degrees right now and it is supposed to hit 100 degrees today. Still no rain in our area. The coffee is good this morning and I am going to have to grind some more beans today. Any plans for today?

We are going to take Chris bowling this afternoon at the Lucky Strike Lanes, he loves to bowl and so do we. Rosemary will be here to care for Chris this afternoon and she will go along with us to bowl. Boy, this coffee is good this morning.

We had a fantastic evening at Lowes Ventana Canyon Resort with Jeanne and Anjelica. We ate dinner at the Flying V and let me tell you the food was very good and it is a very nice place. Elise and Anjelica had the trout with veggies, and Jeanne and I had the Mole pork chop with cornbread dressing and soup made with chorizo and white beans, it was excellent let me tell you. We also shared a cornbread with jalapenos that was great and also some lavosh. Elise and I shared a bottle of red and Jeanne had a couple of Jim Beams neat with ice on the side. We enjoyed the evening very much.

After dinner we meet up a Jeanne's house and we had dessert. I had ice cream with Kahlua with crushed Heath bars on top. Excellent! Anjelica had the same, and Elise had a small amount of ice cream. We had after dessert drinks as well. Jeanne had Jack on the rocks and so did Elise. I was convinced to have one as well and it was very good, smile. We said our good-byes and we left for home. Jeanne and Anjelica are wonderful friends and great hosts. Jeanne loves the Polo cologne that I wear and she gets her Polo fix every time we meet up.

We returned home and I checked on Chris and we called it a night. Well, I had better get busy and get Chris ready for his massage that he and Elise will receive today. Have a good day all and enjoy.
