Sale Is Over!

Arizona Saguaro Salute

What's up?  

Well, Chris and I just closed up the car sale event for today. It did not go well but we had 14 cars and SUV's available for our customers.

We had a few lookers and a few people drove by slowly taking a quick gander at the cars. I am amazed with the turn out of cars. It is the most I have ever had to offer.

The problem today is that everyone is at the malls or getting ready for the 4th Avenue Street Fair that starts tomorrow. Also the local car dealers are offering $1000.00 gift cards and many other enticements that I cannot compete with.

The only person who stayed for any length of time was the wheelchair lady. Do you remember her? Well, she is still around and she decided to stop by this afternoon. She was looking at the cars and asked me to open up the Cadillac SUV for her to look at. So I went into the house and I lifted the keys from the bridge player without him even knowing that I did.

I went back outside and she was sitting next to Chris at our table. I looked at the table and I saw that my flask was open and on it's side. I picked it up and it was bone dry, yes bone dry. I looked at Chris and he looked at me. Chris immediately looked and pointed to the wheelchair lady. She looked at me and she bolted off in her chair laughing loudly and giving me a Arizona Salute as she rolled away. She has gotten me again. When will I learn, eh? She even turned on some Christmas lights that were on her chair when she bolted away. She is really full of cheer, yes my Jack Daniels. 

I have been jacked again, but this is the last time she is going to get over on me. Chris and I are back inside now and I am having a shot of Sambuca to calm me down.
Later.......Jessie

TGIF!!

Good Morning!

     TGIF!! How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:40am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning, but I am sure that she will be up and about very soon. Any plans for today?

     I am started off with computer problems this morning, nothing wants to load. I hope that I don't have this problem throughout the day. The coffee is good and while I am dealing with the computer problems I am enjoying leftover Chinese food for breakfast. Hey, it's good so don't hate! Smile!

    We had a very nice dinner at Johnathan's Cork last night thanks to the big heart of Toni. She does this every year for Elise, Lee, Lois and I. The food was very, very good. Elise and I had a nice glass of Zinfandel with our meal, and Toni had a margarita.

    Toni,ordered the roasted duck, Elise ordered Ostrich, Lee and Lois ordered the Salmon special, and I had baby back ribs and a cup of enchilada soup. We were stuffed to the gills. Elise, Lee,and I had coffee. 

    Toni insisted that we have dessert and we all declined. Toni insisted that I have dessert and she told the waiter to bring out the dessert menu. So I broke down and I had the Creme Brulee' and it was very good. It made Toni happy and that made me happy. She has a bit of a thing for me, don't you know? Smile! I have that effect on some women I have been told, big smile!

   Elise is hosting a marathon bridge game this afternoon and I should have a good selection of cars for viewing. So  you stop on by and check them out. The bidders and shufflers won't mind unless I sell one and they have to catch the bus or take a cab home after the game. So I suggest that they bring the correct change for the  bus, just to be safe.

    Elise will be singing this evening at the Tucson Botanical Gardens this evening with the Tucson Women's Chorus. I will be there to listen and I will taking a few photos as well. It should be a very good crowd. Marv will be here caring for Chris this evening. He may bring Chris to gardens to have a look around.

    Well, I had better get to it. Have a great Friday and stay safe, healthy and happy. Be Blessed.
Later.......Jessie and Elise

    It's a Thirsty Thursday! What's the hap? I started the day off a 4:50am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning and she is stirring about. So she will be up and heading for the gym very soon. Any plans for today?

    The coffee is good and hot and I am thinking about knocking off the last sweet roll. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris. There will be no massages given today but they will resume next week. Rosie will be here this afternoon to care for Chris.

     Elise and I will be going to the movies to see "Killing Me Softly" it has gotten some very good reviews and Elise can't wait to see Brad Pitt, go figure! Any who it should be a good movie.

     Later in the evening we are meeting up with Lois, Lee, and Toni at Johnathan's Cork for our annual Christmas dinner that Toni treats us to. It should be a very nice evening. The Cork has some of the best food in the Old Pueblo.

    Last nights performance at the Berger Center was outstanding. We saw the Sons of Orpheus and students from the Arizona School for the Deaf and Blind, and Mariachi Sonido de Mexico perform. It was great! I have posted the flier of last nights performance within the blog. The Center was packed and the audience gave several well deserved standing ovations.

   Well, I had better get busy and get this Thirsty Thursday moving along. Have a great day and be careful.

     The coffee is great and the scone was fantastic. I am hoping that they deliver the right bed today for Chris. Bobby will be here this afternoon to care for Chris.

      We are going to the Berger Center to listen to the Sons of Orpheus sing this evening. Prior to the concert we are going to indulge in some Chinese food for dinner. Can you say hot and sour soup? We will for sure, smile.

Chris and I relaxed this afternoon by watching TV. It was a nice mild day today and it is supposed to be the same tomorrow. Is this December?

I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at a chiro appointment. Elise has been working on her Christmas cards fro mailing. I will start on mine next week.

Well, I had better get back to Chris. Oh, yeah Chris new bed was delivered today and they brought the wrong one. They brought a semi-auto, and Chris needs a total-auto. They will try again tomorrow.

I want to thank everyone for the very nice comments about Elise and I in last nights photos at the Bisbee courthouse.

    The coffee is good and fresh this morning and I am thinking about a slice of cheese to go along with it. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris. 

     We had a very nice time last night at Ann's retirement reception in Bisbee. There was a good turnout and we got to tour her chambers and we looked around in the old jail that is above the courthouse. 

      After the reception a few friends and family members all met up at the 555 restaurant for dinner. It was very nice and cozy, and we even had the fireplace crackling. The food was very good and the service was too!

      I will post some of the pics that I took at the courthouse later today after I review them all. We departed Bisbee at about 6:45pm and we were on our way back to Tucson. We arrived in Tucson at 8:20pm and we said goodbye to Cathy who went along with us to Bisbee. I checked on Chris and Elise hit the sheets to read. I watched TV until John left for the night, and then it was game over for me.

      Have a great day and stay healthy, happy and safe.

We watched a episode of the Closer and we watched an episode of Damages. We are now decided what we are going to wear to Ann's retirement reception. It should be an interesting reception.

     The coffee is good this morning and I am looking at a sweet roll. I will back off due to we are going to have breakfast this morning at the "Gourmet Girls Bakery". It is a gluten-free eatery that has some outstanding blueberry pancakes. We have not been there in quite a while.

     We had a wonderful evening at John's birthday party. Marty always does it up right. The food was very good and the turnout was nice. I loved the meatballs and the small sandwiches, man were they good. If Elise had not kept an eye on me I would have monopolized the sandwiches because I had pulled up a chair at the serving table.

     We returned home hoping to catch some of the Wildcats basketball game but it was over and the Cats won over Texas Tech. Go Cats! We are going to go to the movies this evening to see "Looper" it should be a good one. It is at the Crossroads Theater. Rosie will be here this evening to care for Chris.

     Tomorrow we will be heading for Bisbee, Arizona. The Honorable Judge Ann Littrell will be having a retirement reception at the courthouse. The honorable Judge Ann Littrell is Elise's sister. She has been a judge for the last 8 years and now she will move on to other ventures. John will be here caring for Chris while we are away.

Good Morning!

Mood: Frisky!

Music listening to: Purple Rain by Prince

      It's the weekend. How are you doing?  I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning so that means she will be up and heading for the gym very soon. Any plans for today?

      The coffee is good this morning and I am looking at a lemon cake to go along with it. It is going to happen for sure, smile! John will be here this morning to care for Chris.

      We are going to start to did out Christmas lights and decorations today. We are also going to attend a party this evening at a good friends house. We saw the movie "Seven Psychopath's" and it is different but good.

       We had a very nice, restful, peaceful time at the DDC. Our overnight stay was great. We did not get up until 9:00am on Friday morning . Wow, we just don't do that. Smile!

        We played the slots and we left the casino with $140.00 more than what we started with. That is always a plus, don't you think? Even if we don't win it is very relaxing for me, and it is a change of scenery.

        Well, I had better get busy. Have a great weekend and stay safe.
