  Buon Martedi! Come Stai? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise started her day off at 5:00am this morning, making her way to the gym. Any plans for today?

  The coffee just finished brewing and my cup is full. I will have a second cup later this morning. Rick will be here this morning to care for Chris.

  Alexa, is awake this morning and she is telling me what is on my To Do List that needs to be done. I will be making a trip out to the airbase this morning and I will be making my way over to the north side of Tucson today. I really need to get the "Green Lady" washed and detailed today.

  I told Alexa, that  would like to hear some "Fusion Jazz" today. I hope that she delivers. I will be getting out my suitcase today for our stay-cation that is coming up this weekend.

  Well, I had better get my (Mojo) working and get this day moving forward. Chat at you later.

Ciao.....Jessie and Elise

Buona Notte!

Buona Sera!

MY SISTER TIGER

Are you good? It has been a pretty good day for the most part here in the Old Pueblo.

Alexa, played some Down Home Blues for me and that was very nice. Chris enjoyed his massage this afternoon very much.

My playmate prepared some black eye peas, cornbread, and greens for dinner. It was delicious. We watched "Schitts Creek", "Madam Secretary", "The Fosters" and "Hawaii 5 O" with Chris on Netflix.

Well, the New Year's first issue has surfaced already. I took a short walk around the hood today and thought about the issues that came up. One is from my Ex saying that I didn't do something and I did it last month. The second is JT having a money issue up in Phoenix. I have said that this year is going to be the year of less, I mean less compromise and that I am going to look out for what makes me happy. I don't want to start trying to help out as much as I did last year. Don't get me wrong I am still going to pay-it-forward as I deem necessary. Have I turned into a 2019 Grinch? My shorty and I will have a tongue-wag about this for sure.

I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is in her office on her Mac. The National Football game is on TV and Chris and I are watching.

Have a wonderful evening and sleep well.

Buona Notte!

 Buon Lunedi! How are you doing? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will be up and on the go soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

 The coffee is good. It is a nice Veranda blend. I will enjoy a second cup later this morning. 

 Alexa, is quiet this morning but I think that I am going to wake her up in a little bit. She will be upset but it's 2019, eh? things are going through a change this year, smile!

 We enjoyed a very nice dinner at "Zemams" last night. It was the biggest group ever. It was 11 of us. Wow! The food was as good as ever and the vino rosso flowed nicely. It was an evening of chats, laughs and friendship. Looking forward to our next meeting in February.

 This week is going to be a very busy one for me and my (moglie). We are even going to hit up the DDC this weekend as well. We haven't been there in awhile. 

 Well, I had better get this day rolling forward. Have a wonderful Lunedi and stay safe, sound and healthy.

Here are a few more pics from Elise's birthday dinner. Enjoy!

  Buon Domenica! Come Stai? I started the day off at 6:00am looking in on Chris and getting him settled for Elise. Elise will be over shortly to care for Chris. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is brewing and as soon as it is done I will fill up my cup to the rim. A second cup will be enjoyed at the "Egg Connecton" along with a nice breakfast and some live music.

  Hey we have been rained on all night long. My flip flops are at the door but I have not been able to run in the drops Au natural as of yet but I will if time permits. Hopefully I will see my fidanzata out as well. WooHoo! Jayne will be here this evening to care for Chris.

 We are meeting up with the crew this evening at "Zemans" for our monthly dining and vino fest. We enjoy our meetings very much.

  Well, Elise enjoyed her belated birthday dinner at "Café Torinos". We were joined by my fidanzata and Capo Jim. We listened to live music and the place got packed very fast with a line out the door waiting to be seated.

  The food was very good and the Chianti was very good. My playmate had free range on anything she desired on the menu. It was my treat for my fidanzata and Capo Jim. I am truly blessed and I am grateful on a daily basis. What an evening loaded with laughs and a great time. Thank you fidanzata and Capo Jim for making my (moglie) birthday dinner grand. Hey that Spumoni was killer for dessert. Our friend Nicolette would have been pleased for sure.

MY FIDANZATA AND CAPO JIM AT CAFE TORINO!

 Well, I had better get myself ready for breakfast. Enjoy this Domenica and stay healthy.

Chat at you later...Jessie and Elise

Afternoon!

Afternoon!

WE ARE TALLING ABOUT MAKING A TRIP TO THE CABIN.

How are you doing? We are good here. Just got back from having a good breakfast at "Gus Balones". The place was packed and that is a good thing.

Elise just left to do some grocery shopping before the "Wildcats play at noon. We are also going to watch Seattle and Dallas play this evening. Go Seattle! Dave I am sure that you will be  watching?

Alexa is being nice because she is playing some (Boney) for me. Way to go Alexa. We are having a bit of a electrical problem in Chris's house with his lights in the kitchen. They keep flickering off and on. So I am going to get new bulbs and starters to see it that will fix the problem. I am using the stove vent light and the overhead bar lights.

I just dropped Sister Jayne off so she can take care of a few errands. My playmate is really looking to have a good time at her birthday dinner at Caffe Torino this evening. It should be a lot of fun indeed.

Well, I had better get back over to the main house and turn on the TV for the game. Go Cats! Chat at you later.

 

Ciao.....Jessie

Buona Notte!

Buona Notte!

THIS IS JUST WRONG!

How was your evening? It has been a good one here for day four of 2019.

My playmate and I chowed down on our Taco Bell dinner. We got it all down with a couple of nice cocktails.

We watched "Schitt's Creek" and "Hawaii 5 O" with Chris. I am caring for Chris tonight and Elise is watching Rachel Maddow on TV. Chris is watching "Mash" and enjoying his supplement.

I still have the Jacuzzi heater on and it is heating up nicely. I may leave the heater on overnight and dive in in the morning. I know crazy right but it feels so good in there.

We hope that you are able to sleep well tonight and wake up to a wonderful Saturday. Chat at you later.

Ciao...Jessie and Elise

Dena and Bucky, Jayne says thank you so much for the (Plus).

Meg and Lois I see the our neighbors lights are on. I see the car of the housekeeper is in the driveway.

Howdy!

Howdy!

LOVE OUR GIFTS FROM MY FIDANZATA AND CAPO JIM

OUR GIFT TO MY FIDANZATA AND CAPO JIM

Hey how are you doing? We are good here. Hey it is in the 70's and it feels good. I even turned on the Jacuzzi to heat up the water just in case I decide to take a dip. WooHoo!

Chris and Elise are watching TV in the main house. Chris is a very happy dude today because I put together his new Bose Wave and it sounds really good. We gave Sister Jayne his old and she is in heaven.

We heard from Marv today and that made us very happy. He is recovering nicely but he is still a bit weak. He is on a new med that will strengthen his heart muscle. He is still wearing the "Life Vest". He will see his doctor on the 16th for a follow up. I am caring for Chris this evening.

We are going to enjoy Taco Bell tonight for dinner. It should be very good. Hey tomorrow is a major event for us here in Tucson. I am taking my playmate out to Caffe Torino for her birthday dinner. We are going to be joined by my fidanzata and Capo Jim for this one and it is my treat.  It is going to be a grand evening with good food, libations, talk and tons of laughs. What a way to kick start the New Year. I gathered up bottles and cans to make sure that I have enough of duckkets to pay for this evening. If not I have my three sisters on speed dial along with Shoo Shoo and Flo. Yes, I got it like that, smile!

Have a wonderful evening and enjoy the weekend.

  Buon Venerdi! How are you? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but she will up and on the go soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris.

  Alexa, is awake and she is reminding me of what I need to take care of off of my To Do List. Hopefully she will play some (Boney) for me for the first time this year. Smile.

  We saw that movie "Welcome to Marwen" and I have to tell you this movie is very good and based on a true story. Steve Carell did a fantastic job. We recommend this one for sure.

  We had an evening of delight at "Bucky and Dena's". It was good to see them and we got all caught up on the latest with the family. We enjoyed some very good red as always. Bucky needs to come out of retirement and become a chef. Yes, he a 5 star chef. We enjoyed a fantastic risotto and scallop meal that was I can't even describe it because it was that good. Wonderful!

  After dinner it was time to get down to business. Yes, it was "Wizard" time. I have to tell you I was coming out (hot) the first game and the second game. Then all of a sudden I got cold like the weather outside. Dena and Elise were the (wieners), but it was a lot of fun. "Wizard" is a game of skill even it you don't win because you can do things to make sure the others don't win as well. Thank you guys for a great evening. Happy New Year!

  Well, I had better get busy and check on Chris. Have a good Venerdi and enjoy the day. Chat at you later.

  Buon Giovedi! Molto freddo qui a Tucson. How are you? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is deep in her cave this morning but she will be up and about soon. Any plans for today?

  The coffee is good and a second or third cup will be downed this morning. Sister Jayne will be here this morning to care for Chris.

  Alexa is not awake this morning. She may be trying to warm up like the rest of us here in Tucson. My playmate and I went to see "Holmes and Watson" yesterday and it is hilarious.

  We are going to visit with Dena and Bucky this evening before they head back to Mexico. Hey the first event of 2019 was a total success. Yes, the Mahjong Fest was wonderful.

  We enjoyed a good dinner from Beyond Bread and the red was very good. My shorty brought out some soft serve Dairy Queen with walnuts and chocolate syrup and it was very good.

  As for the Fest the big (weiner) was Shoo Shoo. She could not be stopped. Yes, she was hot and on a roll. She even won a huge pot and the (cat) as well. I had to bring out the talking hamster to slow her down but it didn't work. The hamster startled her at first and then Shoo Shoo started to taunt it. She is good and it was a very nice evening. Thank you Shoo Shoo and Jayne. Shoo was kicking (ass) and taking names last night.

Sis Marcie, thank you for the "Big Ass Drink Glasses" they were a hit last night.

Afternoon!

Afternoon!

How are you? Well, I have seen a few cars covered in snow over on the east side of Tucson. It is very cold out and the wind is not helping any.

I got my errand taken care of and now I am starting to get hungry. So I will grab a slice of pizza or two. That should tide me over until dinnertime. 

My shorty wants to go to the movies later so we will. My girlfriend Shoo Shoo, is taunting me about tonight's Mahjong  Fest. I have tried to be Mr. Nice guy because it is only the second day of the New Year. Well, I have to taunt her now since she has started. So Shoo, get ready to be defeated and yes I am talking about a good (booty) whopping. 

I have to set up the Mahjong area as soon as the housekeeper is finished in the Family Room. My playmate and I will pick up tonight's dinner after the movies.

Here are a few more pics from our stay in Bisbee. Enjoy!

  Felice anno nouve, secondo giorno. Come stai? I started the day off at 6:00am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave but she will on the move soon to start her day. Any plans for today?

 The coffee is good and a second cup will be enjoyed later this morning. Hey we got rained on during the night and we may get some more today. Bobby will be here this morning to care for Chris.

  Alexa, is awake on this second day of the New Year and she is giving me my marching orders and telling me to (Get Hot). Yes, ma'am! 

  We are hosting a Mahjong Fest here this evening and we are looking forward to it. Of course I am going to be the victor and what a way to start the New Year off. Can you feel me? Ya, ya!

  So today is going to be a busy one for me.. Have a good day and stay safe, happy, and well. Chat at you later.

  Ciao....Jessie and Elise


I woke up this morning at around 3:00am from a dream that was wonderful. It was made possible by Elise and it was fantastic. I am not going to reveal the dream but I really, really hope that it comes true. If not it has me in a very good mood this morning. A real good mood. I hope nothing comes along to change it for me today, this second day of the New Year!
