Buon Giorno mia amica's

Mood: Cheerful  

Music listening to: Sweet Innocent Baby by Mariah Carey

      It's Hump Day! How are you? I started the day off at 4:55am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning and she is not stirring so that means that she will not be getting up anytime soon. Any plans for today?

      The coffee is good and I am thinking about a glass of instant breakfast to start my day. It is a nice 67 degrees right now but it is not going to stay that way for sure.

      I will again be going over our checklist for our trip and I will be closing up my suitcase today or tomorrow. We are going to watch the debate this evening while we are eating dinner. We will be joined by Bobby for hamburgers, fries, and a few cocktails. It should be an interesting debate.

     Rosie will be here this afternoon to care for Chris. Tomorrow we are going to meet up with the crew of Toni, Lois, and Lee at Leo's Mexican for dinner. Ole'. Well, I had better get busy and get this day moving in the right direction. Have a good Hump Day.
Later.......Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie have a good one.

Jane and John,have a good day.

Buona Notte!i

Buona Notte!    

Well the day has come to a halt. How was your day? Things went very well here today. Elise typed up some caregiver instructions for us to leave with the caregivers on Friday morning.

I emailed our host in Florence at our B&B with a bit more info about our arrival. I am still having problems finding memory sticks for my Sony Hot-Shot camera, but I will keep on trying. I really don't want to take our Canon Rebel T3.

Elise prepared breakfast for dinner this evening. We had eggs, pancakes, sausages and plenty of hot coffee. We watched a DVD title " Shortbus" and we have to tell you it was a strange one but it was very good. It was not rated but it that close to XXX, yes I said XXX we were glued to the TV and so was Chris. He loved it!

I got a very nice email from our host Fernanda in Florence. She sent us a map of how to get to her home. She is going to pick us up at the airport, isn't that very nice? I hope that my Italian passes without too much trouble.

Elise is on her puter right now and I am caring for Chris. We hope that your day was a good one? Sleep well and get ready for Hump Day!

Buona Notte! ...........Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie, hit the sheets. 

Jet, enjoy your trip.

Loraine, are you sleep yet?

Jane and John, checkout " Shortbus" we got it from Netflix.

Bobby, checkout "Shortbus" we believe that you will enjoy it. We are sure of it. Smile!

Monna, how are you feeling? Better?

Marcia, have a great night. Thank you for the wonderful emails.

Tricky Tuesday!!

Buon Giorno!  

Mood: Content!

Music listening to: Oh! Girl

     It's a Tricky Tuesday. How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:40am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning, but she is stirring around. Maybe because the dogs are barking like crazy. She will be up and out very soon for sure. Any plans for today?

    The coffee is good this morning and I will down a jelly donut as well. It is supposed to be a hot one today here in the Old Pueblo, at least 100 degrees.

     I have no plans set for today except to make sure we are on track for our trip to Italia. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris.

     I was asked by Amazon this morning to review a book that I read a few weeks back, and I did. It is and excellent read and if you get a chance to look at the review on Amazon please do. The title is "The Memoirs of Albertis Magnus Armstrong Sr. 2004 The Last Century My Bigoted, Racist Grandfather".

     Well, I had better get busy. Have a great day and stay safe, happy and healthy.
Cheers.......Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie, Jet be good.

Loraine, you have had enough sleep.

Jane and John, what is up?

Shoo and Stu, have a good one.

Flo and John, behave!

Dena, welcome back home!

Buona Notte!

Buona Notte!

Well, the day is just about over. I am caring for Chris this evening and Elise is at her singing group practice. It has been a very pleasant day here in the Old Pueblo.

Elise prepared soup for dinner with sandwiches. We watched the final episodes of the "Mentalist" it was very good. I am working on instructions for the caregivers to use while we are away. We are trying to make sure everything is covered.

We received a very nice surprise today in the post. We got a very nice pictorial calendar of Melbourne, Australia from my dear friend Rosie. She is a dear! Thank you Rosie.

Well, I had better get back to Chris. Have a wonderful night.

Cheers......Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie, Jet sleep well.

Rosie, thank you again for the very nice gift. Grazie, Mille!

Buon Pommeriggio! Oggi e' lunedi'

Buon Pommeriggio!

Ah sei qui! How has you day been so far? I got all of my errands done except one. I will try to get that one completed tomorrow if possible.

Elise is out playing bridge and she has an MRI appointment this afternoon. She also has chorus practice this evening with the Tucson Women's Chorus. I just can't hog tie her down, smile.

I hope that the rest of the day goes by quickly and without any problems for you and I. Take it slow.
Later.......Jessie

It's Another Monday!

Good Morning!  

Mood: Chillin'

Music listening to: 1999 by Prince

     It's a Monday! How are things? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning and she is not stirring around at all. So she will be up very soon and on the move. Any plans for today?

     The coffee is great this morning and I am on my third cup. I will be chowing down on a danish that Elise got for me shortly. 

      I have a number of errands to run this morning on the airbase to include getting my ears lowered. I have to look fresh and good for our trip to Florence for the senoras, eh? Smile! 

      We had  very nice breakfast with Paula and Marty at "Teresa's Mosaic" yesterday. Thank you both for a wonderful treat.

       My suitcase is packed but not yet closed, just in case I need to add an item or two. Elise and I played Wii games yesterday afternoon and I kick butte, yes I did.

       We enjoyed the evening at the "Live Theater Workshops Gala". There was good info put out and great food and entertainment. It was good to see and spend time with Shoo and Stu as well.

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

Cheers.........Jessie und Elise

Tiger,Marcie, Jet have a good one.

Loraine, have you seen the scooter lady lately? 

Shoo and Stu, it was good to see you last night.

Jane and John, have a great day.

Bobby, did you get the JigJab?

Herman, thank you so very much making sure that the Residence Inn is good to go.

Sara, looking forward to seeing you on Friday.

Ross and Denise, how are you?

Monna, anything new?

Claudia, good to hear from you on Facebook.

Sunday!

Good Morning! 

Mood: Worried

Music listening to: Night and Day

     It's a Sunday morning! How are you? I started the day off at 4:45am looking in on Chris and getting him settled. Elise will be caring for him this morning as soon as her feet hit the floor. Any plans for today?

     The coffee is good and I am going to have to grind up some more beans. We are going to meet up with Paula and Marty this morning for breakfast at "Teresas Mosaic" for breakfast. They serve up a very good Mexican breakfast there.

      Elise and I had a great dinner at "Cushing Street Bar and Grill in downtown Tucson last night. The food was excellent and the vino a (Lodi) was fantastic. 

       After we finished our dinner we walked over to the "Arizona Theater Company" to see the musical titled "Next To Normal". It was excellent and the acting and the singing was superb. The cast received a well deserved standing ovation. We would recommend this one as a must see, you will not be disappointed. Bring a box of tissues because it brings out many emotions. I needed an umbrella because I was surrounded by tears and sniffles. 

       Rosemary will be here this evening to care for Chris, and that allows us to attend the "Live Theatre Workshops gala for season ticket holders this evening. We went last year and it was a blast.

       I will be packing up my suitcase today and I hope that I don't leave anything out. We will be taking care of loose ends and anything that needs to looked at prior to us leaving for Florence. We will be contacting our host at the B&B in Florence to give her our arrival time and to get any need info from her.

       Well, I had better get back to Chris. Elise is back in between the sheets but she will be up and on the move very soon. Have a great Sunday and be happy!

Salude'..............Jessie and Elise

Herman, I will be giving you call or sending you a text or an email to let you know that I am going to contact the Residence Inn to confirm our reservations for both days, and to make sure that they have what they need.

Ross and Denise, have a great Sunday.

The Weekend Is Here!

Buongiorno, come stai?

Mood: Hanging In There   

Music listening to: It's All For You by Janet Jackson

      It's the Weekend! What's Up? I started the day off at 4:50am caring for Chris. Elise is in her cave this morning but I hear some grumbling, growling, and was that a snort? She will be up soon and headed for the gym. Any plans for today?

     The coffee is good this morning and a second cup is on the way. John will be here this morning to care for Chris and Rosemary will be here this evening.

      We are going out for breakfast this morning on the eastside of Tucson. We are going to Gus Balones one of our favorite places for breakfast. We will be joined by Bobby this morning. After breakfast we will hit the DDC for a short while. It will do me good  to go there to relax a bit and to take my mind off of things for a while. Elise is always thinking about me and I am blessed that she does. Thank you Elise.

       Well, Elise is all packed and I have all of my things laid out to be packed for our trip. It won't be long now and we will be in Florence, Italy. Fantastico!

        We are going to have dinner this evening at Cushing Street Grill downtown. We have not been there in quite awhile. After our light dinner we are going to the Arizona Theater Company to see a musical titled" Next To Normal" it has gotten great reviews.

       Well, I had better check on Chris. Have a great day and a wonderful weekend.
Later......Jessie and Elise

TGIF!!

Buongiorno, Andiamo, Andiamo!

Mood: Feeling Down and Out!    

Music listening to: Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls by TLC

       TGIF!  How are you doing? I started the day off at 4:45am caring for Chris. Elise is not in her cave this morning and I don't think that she will be putting feet to the floor anytime soon this morning. Smile! Any plans for today?

       I didn't sleep well at all last night. I tossed and turned and I just could not sleep. I was in my own cave this morning and that was due to a pesky mosquito that was playing games with me. I am really stressed out and I have been for the past week or so and it has not gotten any better. It seems worse.

       The coffee is good this morning and a glass of instant breakfast is in order. I may have a grilled cheese sandwich to go along with that as well. Wait a minute that mosquito is back again. It is time to show him who the boss is now!

        Marv will be here this evening to care for Chris. We are going to Cody's Beef and Bean with Bobby this evening. Can you say T-Bone? We will without hesitation. Smile!

        Well, I had better get busy with Chris. Have a good TGIF and stay safe and healthy.

Cin,cin........Jessie and Elise

Bobby, see you this evening.



        

     

Buona Notte

Buona Notte!  

The day has ended and it has been a good one for the most part. How was yours? I got a little bit of much needed rest today and that is always a good thing.

Elise and I went to the movies to see"Arbitrage" and it was very good and the actors played their parts perfectly. The theater had a good crowd for an afternoon  showing.

Our dinner was excellent. I know for a fact that I ate way too much but I just could not help myself at all. Wow, was it good! We watched a few episodes of the "Mentalist" and we consumed a nice bottle of Malbec from Argentina. 

Elise has hit the sheets to read and I will follow suit after Rosie leaves for the night and I check on Chris. We hope that your day went well and that tomorrow will be even better.
Cin,cin.......Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie, Jet sleep well my sisters.

Loraine, take care.

Jane and John, be careful.

Shoo and Stu, good night.

Thirsty Thursday!

Good Morning!  

Mood: Contento

Music listening to: Pick Up The Pieces by the Average White Band (classic R&B)

       Buongiorno! Come Stai? How are you doing? I started the day off at 5:00am caring for Chris. Elise and I both popped up at 5:00am like two pieces of bread in a toaster. Elise is on her way to the gym? Any plans for today?

       The coffee is good and hot this morning and I a going to have a glass of instant breakfast. Angelica will be here this morning to care for Chris and Rosie will be here this evening. Elise and Chris will be receiving a massage this morning from Donna at around 10:00am.

       We went to the movies last night to see the "Master". It was a good movie and a bit scary because it shows the  inner workings of a cult like group. Great acting!

        We are going to the Loft this afternoon to see another movie is we can. We are firing up the crock pot this morning. We will throw in a quartered beef shank, potatoes, onion soup, corn, and sweet peas. I am looking forward to the first bite. I sound hungry, eh?

        Well,  had better get busy. Have a great day and be careful out there.

Arrivederci..............Jessie and Elise

Tiger, Marcie, Jet have a good one.

Bobby, how are you feeling?
