Good Night

Good Night

It has been a true Monday let me tell you. I am always very cautious on Monday's. I took Chris's wheelchair to be repaired and the address I had was wrong but I found the place. I went in and come to find out his appointment isn't until tomorrow morning. Now is that a true Monday or what?

Next come to find out we are still having problems getting Chris his needed medical supplies from his insurance carrier and we have been dealing with this now for about a month or more. A case of the right foot just keeps kicking the left foot and we are getting nowhere fast.

Next I felt so out of sorts that I started not to feel well. I am glad that this Monday is about over. Elise prepared a nice dinner prior to her leaving to play bridge at her Mom's house. I am caring for Chris this evening and he is wanting to play who is going to pick up my pillow after I throw it on the floor time and time again.

The weather has been pretty good today and we still are having a bout with the wind leftover from yesterday. Well, I had better get back to Chris. Have a good day and a much better tomorrow. I hope that mine will be a lot better, smile.

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

Good Night Jeanne, sorry that I missed you today.

Claudia, it was good to talk to you today, it has been a long time since we spoke.

Tiger, Marcie, and Jet, have a wonderful dream filled evening.

Jane, I am glad that your are looking forward to receiving your tee in a few days. Thank you so very much.

Monday Beware!

Good Morning

Mood: Overwhelmed

Music listening to: Ring My Bell

How are you this morning? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise is still counting Cardinals this morning but she will be up chirping and in flight soon. The coffee is good this morning and it hits the spot, due to it is a chilly 47 degrees here in the Old Pueblo. Any plans for today?

I have to Chris's wheelchair in for some repair this morning and I hope that they do not keep it all day long. While I am out I may stop and get a breakfast biscuit or two, smile. Elise and I had a very nice time at Reid Park last night. We attended Music Under the Stars and the music was very good. The Tucson Boys Chorus sang and they did some fancy rope tricks as well. It brought back a lot of memories for me due to JT was a member of the chorus for many years.

We left early due to it got very windy and rather cold. We had on shorts and short sleeve shirts and the wind was going right through us and many others. Prior to the start of the show we sat and watched the crowd ate a light dinner. We had chicken breasts, baked beans, popcorn and of course couple of glasses of Merlot. Overall it was a good evening and Mum was there too.

Well, I had better get busy. I also have to check on the status of our latest tee-shirt design as well to see if it has been completed. Have a good day and take it slow and easy, it's still a Monday.

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

Good Morning Jeanne.

Tiger, Marcie, Jet, what's cooking?

Rosie, always a pleasure to hear from you.

Shoo Shoo, have a good day.

Carol, glad that you liked our latest Mexico adventure, we had a very nice time.

Mary and Bob, we had a very nice time in Mexico, thank you.

JT, I have heard from Tri-Care and no changes have been made due to the new bill.

Monna, hope that you are much better today? Give our best to all.

The above photo are a few more from our trip to Rocky Point.

Afternoon

Good Afternoon,

Well, the wind is really blowing now and we are under a wind advisory for most of the day. We had a very nice breakfast with Mum at Alice's. The food was good and the coffee was hot like Mum insists that it must be, smile. Elise is giving Chris a bio-feedback treatment at the present time so now I can tell you about our trip to Puerto Penasco ( Rocky Point, Mexico).

18 May 10

We left Tucson at around 11:00am after we had a very good breakfast at Gus Balones. At about noon we were stuck on Ajo Rd because they are repairing the highway. It seems like every trip that we take and we drive we get stuck due to road work. This trip is a slow one so we don't mind the wait too much. There is a nice breeze and the temp is about 78 degrees. We are listening to a book on tape about Erma Bombeck and it is pretty good and funny.

We stopped in Why, AZ to get Mexican travel insurance for 3 days. It cost about $54.00. Elise talked to the lady there in Why and she said that there were fields in Buckeye , AZ that were rotting because no one wanted to pick them except immigrants and the farmers would not hire then if they were illegal!! A very sad note. We arrived in Rocky Point at around 3:30pm and the house on the beach that belongs to our relatives Bucky and Dena had just been painted inside and out and it looked very nice. New patio furniture as well with nice turquoise cushions. We are sitting on the back patio enjoying the cool breeze and eating our famous tuna fish, jalapeno dip with Fritos and we are drinking a few Cervesa. Delicious!

We played Scrabble on the patio for a couple of hours and we continued to eat the dip and we had a few more Cervesas! After that we played a game called "Wizard" for a few more hours adn we moved on to our favorite game drink Jack and Coke. It is about 9:30pm and we are totally stuffed and ready to call it a day. Bucky called to see if we got there OK.

19 May 10

We woke up at around 8:30am and we both had stomach aches, I guess it was too much food or something? Smile! We tossed and turned during the night because it was a bit warm. Elise got up at around 9:00am and she fixed us a light breakfast of toast, jelly and coffee. After that we took a walk on the beach.We had to cover our tattoos before we went on the walk to keep the sun off of them. It was a very good long walk on the beach. After that we went into town to get some groceries. We bought some cheese(asadero and oaxaca), corn tortillas that had just been made, salsa, watermelon, ice cream, shrimp, water and dental floss. The grand total was $32.80. Not bad at all!

We returned to the house and we played rousing game of "Wizard" . later we played a game Triominos and drank jack and Coke and Elise munched on pistachios and I ate chicharones and popcorn. Elise took a shore nap and then she read for a while before she fixed dinner. We had refried beans with Mexican cheese and jalapenos in them, Quinoa, shrimp sauteed in olive oil and grape seed oil with garlic and a touch of sesame seed oil. We also had corn tortillas hot and lot's of salsa. We had some Black Box Merlot alone with dinner and it is always a good choice. We watched a DVD while we ate and it was in black and white a little weird but it was good . After dinner we sat on the patio and people watched playing in the sand and fishing off of the beach. We came inside and we played another round of "Wizard", we have become masters of the game. Then we called it a night at around 11:00pm. Another good day in Mexico.

20 May 10

We started the day at 8:30am but Elise is still on AZ time so for her it is 7:30am. Elise fixed a nice breakfast and I cooked a couple of smoked pork chops to go along with our corn tortillas and coffee. Next thing you know we were out for another beach walk. We walked for 68 minutes adn we are exhausted from walking in the sand,it is very hare work don't you know? It was hot as well even though the breeze from the ocean was feeling good. We walked part of the way behind the beach houses on the road to get a different view . Lot's of expensive houses for sale. One was a small one priced at $700,000 so you can imagine the price of the big ones. The house we stayed in had to have cost at least a couple of million, and let me tell you is is very nice. There are not very many tourist here but lots of workers painting and sanding the beach houses. So we imagine that they expect a large influx of people during the Memorial Day vacation.

We took a trip into town to visit a pharmacy this morning to get meds that you cannot get anymore in the states. We also bougth more salsa and batteries for Dena's kitchen clock. We returned from the pharmacy and we had a few Jack and Cokes, of course we did. We played more Triominoes on the patio and Scrabble, right after that we took a little nap. Elise then made dinner which. We had those shrimp again, refried beans, quinoa, jalapenos, cheese and corn tortillas, and of course some more Merlot. We watched a movie on TV with Matt Damon and Greg Kinear that was pretty good. Then we went out side to watch the sunset it was very nice.

We decided to play some more "Wizard" and have some ice cream for dessert. There are a lot of people on the beach this today and some guys are in the house next to us and they are loud and and drinking beer. We called it a night after we completed the game.

21 May 10

We got up at around 8:00am and just missed a tamale lady selling on on the beach. We are preparing to head back to Tucson so we are packing our suitcases and we are going to take one more stroll on the beach before we leave. After the walk we decided to eat some watermelon on the patio and people watch. This morning's beach walk was for about an hour, and we are really tired from it. We picked up some shells from the beach for (Q) Kecia's daughter. We got showered and dressed and we locked up the house and we left for Tucson. We got back to Tucson and we unloaded the pickup and then we went to Oregano's for pizza, vino and a couple Bellini's. A very nice way to end a very relaxing trip. We sleep very well that night let me tell you.

The photos above are a few that we took in Mexico. I will post some on our blog over the next couple of days, enjoy! We did.

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

Good Night Jeanne.

Tiger, Marcie and Jet, have a great evening.

Monna, so glad to hear that you are feeling better.

Good Morning

Mood: Content

Music listening to: Feel The Fire by Teddy Pendergrass

How are you? I started the day off at 5:15am looking in on Chris and getting him settled. Elise will be caring for Chris this morning as soon as she let's the sun shine in her eyes, smile. Any plans for today? The coffee is great this morning and temperature is heating up with a nice breeze.

We are going to go out for breakfast with Mum this morning like we do every Sunday. We had a very nice evening with Mum at the Old Pueblo Grill for dinner. We sat outside and the weather was perfect, and the food was very good. We shared a bottle of red along with our meal and it was good too!

This evening after Rosemary arrives to care for Chris we are going to listen to Music Under the Stars at Reid Park. We enjoy the music and just being outdoors with the crowds enjoying the evening under the stars with a bottle of red and a few snacks. Last week the crowd was huge and it will more than likely be a repeat tonight. Mum will be there as well.

Well, I had better get to it. I will give info and photos about our trip to Puerto Penasco a little later today. Have a great Sunday and stay safe and healthy.

Elise prepared some very good soup for dinner. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is playing bridge at her Mom's. I have just about finished packing for our short stay in Rocky Point, Mexico. We are looking forward to just lounging around on the beach and just resting.

We hope that your day was a good one? Well, I had better make sure I am all packed and get my passport out to take along. Have a good night and we will chat at you as soon as we return.

I have to run a few errands and make a visit to my office to turn in some paperwork. We are in the process of packing a few bags for a short trip to Rocky Point, Mexico. We will spend some time on the beach and in town as well. We love going there it is so very relaxing and the fresh seafood is wonderful. We will be leaving early tomorrow morning and we will return on Friday if all goes as planned.

We had a wonderful evening at Reid Park last night listening to music under the stars. We were picked up by Jan and Lundy, they are very gracious hosts. The weather was perfect and a huge crowd was present. We shared pizza, cheese and crackers, nuts, popcorn, and of course vino. We also shared a bottle of Gruet champagne that was very, very good. It was a great evening under the stars. Thank you Jan and Lundy!

Well, I had better get myself in gear and get this day rolling. Have a good day and stay safe.

The food was as good as always.

We are going out for brunch with Mum this morning at Colors. We found out on Friday evening that they serve brunch and we were told it was very good so we will give it a go this morning.

Marv cared for Chris last night and Elise and I went to Colors for a couple of Jack and Cokes. One of Elise's friends was there and her name is Janet. Janet was waiting on a friend to show up and her name is Shoo Shoo. Elise and I both perked up and I was glad that I was going to see Shoo Shoo in person. Well, she arrived and it was hugs all over the place, it was good to finally meet her, what a thrill!!

We sat there and we talked and we enjoyed our drinks. Come to find out they were also going to the Live Theater to see the play "What The Butler Saw" it was hilarious and very well done. After the play Elise and I went to Buddy's Grill for dinner and a bottle of red. We had shrimp cocktail as an appetizer and we both got the pork chops that are fantastic. Elise got a baked potato and I got the Au Gratin potatoes. It was a very good evening for all. We returned home and I checked on Chris and we called it a night.

The day has come to a close and it has been another good one. Elise and Chris got there massage and I got to run a few errands as well. The big event for today is that JT graduated from ASU and now he is preparing for Grad School. All of his hard work has paid off and we are very proud and happy for him. Good Job! Son!

After Rosemary arrived to care for Chris, Elise and I went to the Loft to see a movie called "Vincere" in Italian it means )to win). It was about Mussolini , Il Ducci and it was very good and it brought out many things that we had no idea about how he was and how he lived. A very good movie. After that we returned home and took a short break.

Then we left to pick up Mum so we could join Lois, Lee and Toni for dinner at On The Border. The food was very good and the Margarita's were,well Elise and I had two of them. Need I say more? It was good to see Toni because we have not seen her in quite a while due to illness. She is looking good and is as feisty as ever. Well, had better check on Chris because Rosemary just left for the night. Elise hit the sheets early to read but I just check on her and she is starting to get her fog horn in tune, smile. Have a great night.
